Mechanical snowboard traction

Born from a fall

Built for control

The idea for Giini did not happen in a boardroom. It happened at the top of a mountain, face-down in the snow, with a bruised ego and a twisted knee. Thirty years of foam stickers, and the industry called it safety. We went and built hardware instead.
